Overwhelming support for VAR from MARCA readers

Some players like Thiago Alcantara may believe it tarnishes the essence of football, but MARCA English readers are quite clearly in favour of video assistant refereeing (VAR) to be implemented in the Champions League.

In a recent poll, over 81% of those asked argued in favour of the use of technology to get key decisions right and diminish the influence officials have on the final result of a match.

That won't be without its problems however, if implemented, as it is unclear during what instances of play the technology should be used.
